Yes, I also agree with Vicki--is there anyone who doesn't, in general ;)?--you have passed on the torch so beautifully. I was especially moved by your speaking of Mom-Mom and how she has stayed with you to this day. That is inspiring, absolutely.

As our leader you have excelled yourself with such a beautiful and, in itself, such an inspirational post. Wha is all around us is just so inspirational ....... such beautiful images and wonderful words Marsha. XXXX

Marsha, I discovered you today through Vicki's blog and feel so fortunate to have done so. Your inspirational reflections of you grandmother moved me to tears, but your grammar corrections made me smile and recall my great aunt, whose most memorable contribution to my grammatical education was, when she me caught ending a question with "at", her answer to me was always "between the a and the t."

Marsha, I was in tears while reading about your MOM MOM.... I loved what you inherited from her spirit... I too, was been blessed with a few special people in my life and I know I live each day with what I absorbed from them. I treasure them and I know you do yours!Thankyou for the time... love ... and reflection you put forth in this beautiful piece...xo,GailCasualLovesElegance

My warmest thoughts and hugs to you,***Violetta***

Violetta, we may be the only ones who think as we do, but I cannot change & neither can you. Our unique way of creating beautiful things for others to enjoy gives both of us so much pleasure. And, I knew you would love the image! I may make it my wallpaper on my computer. :)'s

Marsha, reading about your Grandmother has made me wonder AGAIN, why God has seen fit to not bless me with grandchildren. I would love to share so much with them. My heart is heavy, not having them and knowing I will not. You always inspire, no matter your topic. Your love of all things beautiful makes me smile whenever I visit, which I try to do all the time. I do love this By Invitation Only feature you are doing. XO, Pinky

Marsha. I am back in business, needed a new keyboard, it was worth the chaos of the apple store:) Such a beautiful and poignant post. I almost got chills reading that you call your grandmother mom mom!! me too!! My beloved grandmother who was someone I so admire, that I get teary eyed just thinking of her.....its a special name for special grandmothers:) I grew up speaking to her in her broken English (she was French) and my mom mom grew up speaking French, and she always from the time that I can remember being curious about such things, imparted so much wisdom and life experience on me. Her spirit will forever be with me and the older I get the more I aspire to be just like her. I loved this in more ways than I can count!I promise to be on board rearing to go next month:)

Thank you for your beautiful words. I almost did not make it this time, but after reading your post this morning, I told myself, better late, but I must must contribute to this truly very special topic. A few more things to do in the office, a late dinner and then looking forward to a quiet moment reading everyone's thoughts.

Thank you for your inspirational blog. I have been blessed with four beautiful grandchildren and hope to inspire and love them intensely, every day of my life. What a wonderful legacy to leave for those we love. Thank you, Linnie

Sorry for my late comment but we were - and still are - cut off from electricity and internet here and there during the last few days.....rural countryside!

Hello Marsha!I just found your blog yesterday and this is my first time to comment here..This is such a wonderful blog, very inspiring.

I´m touched by the story about your Mom Mom. You are one lucky lady. I never got the chance to really enjoy my grandma because our family lived far away from her... We always enjoyed the time when she visited us. Thank you so much for rekindling those memories...

Good morning. I'm visiting for the first time and so glad I did! Love this post. I think we all sometimes taken our sources of inspiration for granted as we go about our day. It is important to take a second to really taken in those things that make our life so mug richer. Look forward to reading more.

It's exactly why I read blogs like yours and Vicky's because they inspire in so many ways. They point me in directions that are new and enlightening to see beauty in the world around, in photos, thru lovely posts from blogs. Inspiration is a composite of so many ideas. Thanks for sharing your point of view on this subject.

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have take a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
